INSTALLATION:1. Download OpenIV from www.openiv.com, install it and open GTA V for Windows.
2. Go to update/update.rpf/x64/patch/data/cdimages/scaleform_generic.rpf
3. Click on the "Edit Mode" button on the top bar.
4. Then click on the green plus icon that says "Add new file" and import the 'hud.ytd' and 'mp_big_message_freemode.ytd' provided by this mod (you can find these files inside the 'Modded YTD' folder).
5. Close OpenIV and start the game!

Feel free to do the same thing with the original files located inside the 'Backups' folder provided by this mod in order to revert the changes and go back to the old grayed icons. This is recommended if you want to play online, as Rockstar doesn't allow any modded files, even if it's a texture.

NOTE: Make sure you have the latest version of ScriptHookV, otherwise the game will crash when you try to run it. Also, make sure to enable the ASI Loader and OpenIV.asi through OpenIV in order to enable the game to read modified .rpf files. To do so, run OpenIV and go to Tools > ASI Manager and install ASI Loader and OpenIV.asi

WARNING: Even though these are just texture mods, you can still get banned for playing online with them, so avoid going into Online mode while using this mod or any other mod.

3.1• Small tweaks and improvements to some icons.

3.0• Updated the mod to color the latest weapons up until the Festive Surprise Update of 2015.

2.0• Added an alternative version of the icons with more contrast and saturated colors. There are now two versions: 'Realistic' (the old one) and 'Saturated' (the new one). Pick whichever suits you best!

0.4• Added the colored icons to 'mp_big_message_freemode.ytd' (this will color the icons of the weapons when you are in a vehicle)
• Tweaked the RPG to add more detail
• Tweaked the Sniper Rifle and Heavy Sniper
• Colored the Minigun
• Colored the Cannon Bullets and the Rockets/Missiles icons used in military vehicles
• Updated the Installation Guide text file
• Added the original file for 'mp_big_message_freemode.ytd' in the 'Backups' folder

Upcoming Features:I will try to add the icon for the fire extinguisher, as the game currently does not have one, and I will also create my own colored radio icons and combine these two mods in a single one, so you can use both colored weapon icons and colored radio icons!

Feel free to comment with your opinions and suggestions.
Thank you for downloading and stay tuned for more versions to come!

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to say that all my mods have been updated to the latest GTA version (Festive Surprise of 2015). I've also compiled all my coloring mods (Weapons, Radio and Map Blips) into a single one, which you can download here: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/colorful-hud :)

@Polopai hey bro! If I install your mod, will my double-barrel shotgun icon disappear? or will it just appear as the default grey icon? Because before installing, i looked at your hud.ytd and found that the Double-Barrel shotgun and the Compact Rifle is not there! cheers

@Sun_Ray Sorry, but this mod seems dead and discontinued... Author hasn't been active since January, so I doubt this will be updated for recent patch... Shame because this look very nice, sadly NOT gonna to be compatible with latest versions since R* has add many additional GTA Online weapons since mod's last update...
